Apologies, guess you weren't agreeing with dominique's assertion afterall wink

Snowmobiles move fast, they are not machines you can operate in restricted places like your typical surburban backyards. Now that you no longer live on an acreage, safe to say no snowmobiling going on in your "compound." Happy Sunday!

dominique: You have to live in a multiacre mansion to be able to accomodate a snow mobile. Wetin bush me sabi tongue
jidegirl12: Na you sabi grin I actually do with crazy backyard that leads to a lake tongue ... but nothin compared to the open range ... and another thing is you actually need a licence for you to operate lipsrsealed.... maybe when they grow more we can start going to the community range , they are just under 10 for now and the ideal age is 14 ....those motorized Cadillacs are driven in the basement too ( hardwood floor) ... I'm sure some people prefer more open space but that's the way we want it for now.

As per the discussion; I'm glad you finally agreed that its how you raise your kid they will turn out...regardless of their neighbourhood structure.

Chaircover ..... I'm sure the kids didn't only pick up oooo from neighbours.... it's compounded with how people around them converse too.
FamilyRe: My Neighbours Children Are Wild by MMotimo:
jidegirl12: Kids are very tricky and very emotional when corrected by an outsider.... If you say a word now , it'll be blown out of proportion esp Naija parents and you'd be the topic as soon as they reach house....

I have a good idea what you're going thru, I always hold my breath until they leave and their parents are all peachy about their outrageous attitude. mtcheww

But since you're stuck with them... you gonna have to fight this battle and talk when they do things you're not okay with, for example Toys;

*Guys can you be gentle with those toys or you want me to take them away..with a straight but not angry face wink

Vulgar words; shhhhh guys that's not a nice word to say.( again with the face no need to raise your voice)

Rude: that's kinda rude don't you think buddy? you want me to tell your mom what you just did?( I'm sure he doesn't wanna )

Non remorsefulness ; I think you need a break and you can go home, these kids need to do their homework now.

Lastly; you don't need them to greet you if they don't wanna , it's not by force. Good luck.

I already have my hands full... I don't want any kid to give me hypertension embarassed

One almost drove the snowmobile out of the culdesac
into the Main Street while his parents were chatting away what doesn't concern them undecided
and acreages are not on cul de sacs either, they are very, very large parcels of land, one acre is 40% of a hectare. Let's ease up on the embellishments
FamilyRe: My Neighbours Children Are Wild by MMotimo: 10:50pm On Jan 13, 2013
jidegirl12: Lets be real here; you can't keep kids busy 24/7 when you have neighbours that watch your movement when you drive in and out of your house.

As soon mine comes back from skating o,gymnastics o...and so on , you will see them ( neighbours) knocking to ask for permission to play with them( my kids ) , sometimes I say they want to have lunch now and the kids will rush their lunches like crazy cos they want to go over so bad.

I had a misunderstanding with one of the moms ( you know these caucasians way of reasoning sometimes ehn
).... my kids bawled their eyes out cos they built a fort in their yard together and now I had to let them go there but now wiser myself....no need to sweat it.

It's tricky, like I said just modify your words and be frank about it period.
One acre is about 44000 sq feet, such properties are called acreages with many having more than one acre and yes, you can operate recreational vehicles on them because of the wide expanse of land. Acreages are not properties where neighbors can "watch your movement when you drive in and out of your house" because they have such massive land space. The nearest neighbor is far way enough that you can't have neighbors so close that little kids could walk over or they could amebo you. The space could never be described as "compound" more like "grounds."

@CC

That your last post was a TKO, I have absolutely nothing more to add. I can't stop laughing at the James Bond part , wow, all the JB-type fun you could have in your very own backyard! grin

OMG, I can speak English at last! So that really looked like a dictionary meaning, I am so delighted grin
jidegirl12: I don't have your time.... I'm enjoying this movie with NL on top.

Google up and stop looking for definitions in dictionary.

jidegirl12: See why I said different strokes for different folks? Since October ?!!!

Our pool is transformed into a skating rink....bundle up with our earmuffs and that's one way of my spending time with them... My daughter will be bored like heck if I chose indoors to spend 'quality time ' with her except on school days, tell them to put on their winter ensembles and see shout of joy grin

We drive snowmobiles around the compound and they love it and its memorable...something to talk bout over dinner

They enjoy playing in the snow making snow angels and more..the baby will cry for hours when it's time to come in grin

As per the accent; hehehe is that really important ? I'm just hearing this for the first time it's a crime to speak your own dialect ....I will be proud if my kid says ooo after a word grin...come see when she corrects her teachers how to pronounce her last name properly grin they eventually give up after several attempt.

Everybody is different and that's what makes us special wink

FamilyRe: Should He Fight For Custody Of His Kids?? by MMotimo: 3:22am On Jan 12, 2013
jidegirl12: Na inside cell him go end if he defaults the child support payment unless he's out of the country for good....

As per the kids , I'm sure they'll be fine.... I was and here I am now .... When two adults refused to grow up and continue to prove pride that's what their kids go thru.... ASHI !!!
Potentially, yes. In reality, it takes a lot of doing to end up in jail for non-payment of child support. Would be quite an amount in arrears and for a really extended period. There are other lighter punishment like inability to renew your licence, wage garnishment and even collection agencies. If deadbeats ended up in jail so easily, the authorities would have even less space for hard criminals. Congestion is high as it is.
FamilyRe: Should He Fight For Custody Of His Kids?? by MMotimo: 12:44am On Jan 12, 2013
A restraining order does not mean he can't see the kids. If he has visitation rights, the law accommodates an arrangement to make that possible

Okay, I'm laughing now. Just realized the post was a joke from the beginning cheesy Must be a special Lagos landlady too, what with no rent increase for what is now 5 years
FamilyRe: ADVICE: The Act Of A Woman by MMotimo: 8:35pm On Jan 09, 2013
grin

Didn't even notice the part about 10m for the last 15 yrs. A duplex/townhouse there was about 8m late 2008/early 2009
Poster, you should have used a different neighborhood or better still, made it clear this is fiction

Puzzling story. Do you live in Lagos? Who can claim to have been living on Banana Island since 1998? Owning land+developing a building there na beans undecided. The story does not ring true - the Banana part, that is

@OP,

This year, resolve to mind your own business and pray for God's favor that your mind be sufficiently engaged and your life be sufficiently blessed to stop your pokenosing ways
FamilyRe: Should I Stop Helping Anyone Living In Nigeria? by MMotimo: 9:17pm On Jan 06, 2013
Depends what kind of help. Unfortunately, the "teach a man to fish instead of giving him fish" kind can be difficult to execute in Naija. It's easier to dash what you can and don't delve into business partnerships or establish a business for anyone.
